I don't think the resistance (at least from me) has anything to do with in game mechanics and spoiling that. I can envision pretty much any idea and make it fit with the difficulty of Souls and balance it. I was on the side of guns being a viable addition to the game based on the easy balancing mechanics and thematic fit with lore (if From chose). Not to start that thing again since it's all a matter of personal opinion on fit (like this thread).
The issue for me at least is, unlike a new weapon or weapon class, a pet goes against the atmosphere of the game by removing the aspect of loneliness. Any true companion smashes that apart in my eyes.
